(Closed) Why aren't siestas a thing in the US?

I often get very sleepy come afternoon. Might get some coffee soon. All I know is my grandparents had siestas when they worked. And how come babies and little kids get naptime, they don’t even work and they just act like old, drunk people

But I’m sure it mostly had to do with productivity levels. In a capitalistic nation, which I am in full support of for the most part, you come to realize that in many ways the amount of effort & time you put in equates to the amount of income you make (or usually just generate for big business, but you get the point).

I wished that would exist in Canada too. I’ve heard of some companies actually having nap areas for their employees, and game centers (Playstations) so when they feel bored or tired they can go there and play or take a nap. It’s a new way of offering competitive conditions to their employees so they don’t go working for other companies.

Efficiency will have to be redefined over the years. People can’t nap at work, but how many of them log in Facebook, Twitter, forums, emails, whatever during work time ? Companies also consider this is as a waste of efficiency. But there is a limit as how long the brain can stay focussed and concentrated on the same task. If I had to choose, I would rather have a 30 minutes nap allowed in my day, than browsing through Facebook from time to time during work. I would feel a lot more relaxed (stress is a big issue IMO), energized and motivated.
